    I bought a pair of universal KC gravity foglights to mount on my Brute Force hybrid bumper. However, the shape of the bumper, and the mounting holes, combined with the KC Mounts, don't allow the lights to be rotated level to the ground. Any suggestions?

    Hard to tell how they mount from your one pic but looks like a simple 30° (or whatever angle it is) bent piece of sheet metal would be able to align them and move them inward a tiny bit.

    Not a badidea. I was thinking maybe a piece.of angle iron bolted to the slot to the left. At least I've got some ideas now. Thanks for your input.

    That slot on the vertical portion of the central part of the bumper is used to mount lights as well. Not sure if your lights need to be oriented vertically or horizontally though and if it would affect where the light gets thrown.

    Yes, but that still wouldn't orient them correctly. That's the slot I was referring to using with a piece of angle iron or something like that.
